Create a CHANGELOG.md

I can help with this, if it is something that wants to be implemented.

Description:

Implementing a Changelog for the project to document changes made over time.

Motivation:

The motivation behind this feature is to improve communication with users and contributors. Currently, there isn't a centralized and organized way to convey information about changes, releases, and bug fixes. Introducing a Changelog will enhance transparency, making it easier for users to stay informed about updates and understand the evolution of the project.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce a Changelog file within the project repository. The Changelog will follow a standardized format and will be updated with each release. It will include sections such as Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, and Security, providing a clear overview of modifications made in each version. See here.

Enforcement:
Verify the changelog when pushing to repository, see here for an example.

Enhanced Reporting:

The Changelog will be utilized for creating detailed release notes with each new version. This will involve summarizing the changes made in a human-readable format, making it easy for users to understand what to expect in each release.

Documentation Updates:

The implementation of the Changelog will require updates to the project's documentation. We will add a section to the README or CONTRIBUTING file explaining how users and contributors can access the Changelog.
